The 2014 Stanley Cup Final, commonly known as the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals, was the

championship series of the National Hockey League (NHL)'s 2013–14 season, and the

culmination of the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs. This was the 121st year of the Stanley

Cup's presentation. The League realigned its divisions prior to the season, and changed

the structure of the playoffs, but the championship series remained the same.

The Western Conference champion Los Angeles Kings defeated the Eastern

Conference champion New York Rangers four games to one to win their second

championship in franchise history, marking the first time since 2007 that the

championship series was determined in fewer than six games. Their Stanley

Cup–winning run of 26 playoff games was the longest of any Stanley Cup–winning

team in history.

Los Angeles had home ice advantage in the series, as the Kings finished with a better

regular season record than the Rangers. The series started on June 4 and ended on

June 13 with the Kings winning their second Stanley Cup in three seasons. It was the

first meeting between teams from New York City and Los Angeles for a major

professional sports championship since the Yankees and the Dodgers played in the

1981 World Series. The year 1981 was also the last time the Rangers and the Kings

had met in the post-season, where the Rangers eliminated the Kings during the

preliminary round of the playoffs.

The Kings clinched their second Stanley Cup in franchise history, their first since 2012,

by defeating the Rangers 3–2 on home ice. This was the first Stanley Cup–clinching

game since 2010 to be determined in overtime, and the first time that the home team

had the overtime Stanley Cup winner since 1980. The Kings played 26 playoff games

on their road to the trophy, more than any previous Stanley Cup–winning team.
